There were two companies in cities associated with Alamance County that received FDA citations as a result of two inspections conducted in the county in 2024, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This is unchanged from the number of companies cited in the previous year.
The citations in the county include:
- You did not exclude pests from your food plant to protect against contamination of food.
- Your equipment and utensils were not designed and constructed to be adequately cleaned or maintained to protect against contamination.
- You did not take an adequate measure to protect against inclusion of metal or extraneous material in food.
Both companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations.
The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.
According to its website, the FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety and quality.
